Hi everyone! :) It's awesome to meet you all, I can't wait for the games to begin! :D
Shall we maybe do a little round of introductions so we can get to know each other?
I'm Britta and I'm from Estonia. I'll probably be most active around my evening, though I'll check in during the day too.
I'm probably relatively young, seeing as I just started university this year (studying informatics)! It's been a bit stressful so far, though the main problem is that I've been reading less than I normally would. Hopefully that should quiet down soon though, plus I'll definitely have a lot of time to read around Christmas and in January!
My favourite book genre is definitely fantasy, even though right now I seem to be reading two non-fiction books and one classic. My reading tends to vary a lot, but fantasy's definitely my go-to genre.
And speaking of favourites, my new favourite (standalone) book as of this July is The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender. If anyone needs a recommendation, there's mine. :D
So yeah. It's high time I go to sleep now, hope you'll all write a little something (basically anything) about yourselves when you have the time.
PS. As soon as I saw I was in Hades, I immediately thought we should watch the Disney Hercules together. Anyone up for that? :D
PPS. Here's my shelf, Cathy!

Heya! :)I coincidentally started reading this book a little while ago and I'm about halfway through right now.
If anyone's really confused - basically, Deacons are the guys who fight these creatures from the Otherworld, like Geists, and they're split into Sensitives and Actives. Sensitives are the ones who see what's going on and Actives are the ones who do the actual fighting. That's why they're always in bonded pairs - one Sensitive and one Active. :)
And they both have their own runes, but I don't think you need to learn what they all do. They're usually explained as they're used.
The main character Sorcha is a badass Active. :D
It isn't really much more complicated than that. As far as I've read, anyway.
Hope you're all enjoying the book. I quite like it so far.
Damn, I'd love to join this but I'm going to a camp for three-ish weeks so I guess not... I'll let you guys have all the fun then. :)

Okay, great. I did the first one earlier and I'll do the second one tomorrow... unless I somehow get distracted and end up doing it tonight instead. Happens :D But I should get back to my book...
I'd love to try the Harry Potter puzzles. Do I just find all the words mentioned?I'm not picky with the challenges. Camp Gottaread sounds fine to me.
Well, I'm in :)
I think I would like to join, but I'm a bit confused as to how the whole challenge things function :)
Just finished
, which was quite amazing...And I don't know what I'm gonna read next :) Might be time for another Harry Potter reread, but I haven't picked anything else yet.
I am home and very happy to be here. Time to get reading again! I really want to read something great right now.Currently in the middle of
. In fact I'll be off to read that now! :)
